all i would say is the decisions the coin team have made over the years have proved to be good ones in the long run.

I'll trust them to do the best for the coin.

My opinion: If the maximum amount of DMDv4 supernodes is much lower than the current number of DMDv3 masternodes, because of technical reasons behind honeybadger consensus,
there should be some kind of compensation for longlasting DMDv3 masternode owners. Because those people have proven to care about DMD and the network and they should not be left behind, even if they can't afford a much higher collateral for a DMDv4 supernode.

Different Tiers of Masternodes (like CROWN or ZEN offer) are def a valid option imo.

Would be totally fine with including 10k & 30k Masternode Tiers. 
but dont leave guys out with simply raising the collateral +1
